where can i buy clay for throwing pottery?
I actually don’t plan on throwing it, but that’s besides the point. I want to sculpt with it, just for fun. Can anyone provide websites where I can purchase clay, as I don’t even know where to start because I’m not sure of the specific type of clay I should even be using? (I’m looking for the stuff you typically find in high schools).
I went to hobby lobby today and they did not find anything, and their website doesn’t have anything either, although it’s rather hard to navigate.
Last I asked, which was last month, walmart did not carry it.
Michaels around here also does not have it, hence why I am asking for places online.
What you want is called a ceramic supplier. There are hundreds of them on the net. I’ll give you a link for just a few. You really want to find a supply house closer to where you live, because shipping cost will eat Deeply into your pocket!
Many of your university campus bookstores have Clay, if the university teaches pottery classes.
